Ingredients

In this Mangalorean adaptation of Nièr beurre, we incorporate the bold flavors and spices of Mangalorean cuisine. The original French dish is typically made with calf's liver and uses white wine as a key ingredient. However, in this Mangalorean version, we use chicken liver and replace the white wine with tamarind paste to add a tangy twist. The spices are also adjusted to suit the Mangalorean palate, resulting in a unique and flavorful dish. We alse have the original recipe for Nièr beurre, so you can check it out.
